Linda, the State Capitol clump of LHS is about to rebloom here -- again. It
bloomed last "winter," then again just in time for our late freeze, then in
early summer.
Meanwhile, the clump in my yard bloomed out and died. I may have loved it
to death. The Capitol beds are a palace of neglect: good soil, for the most
part, but only rainfall for water and no extra TLC for rebloomers.
Water here has been exactly none for a month at a time twice this summer
followed by days-on-end deluges. Our temps swing wildly: We dropped from
105F to 65F in 48 hours a few weeks back. It's almost October and it's 94
degrees out. And yet LHS and IMMORTALITY have both rebloomed all over the
county.
